| Abstract | ||
| In Egypt, cabbage is key sources of fibers and nutraceutical compounds for human diets. A field experiment was conducted at the experimental station of the National Research Center in Nubaria region, Egypt to study the effect of different rates of compost and vermicompost, alone or mixed between these two organic fertilizers in varying proportions, in addition to the study of spraying vermicompost tea in the presence of mixing between compost and vermicompost on growth, yield and nutritional status of cabbage plants (Brassier operated L). The results showed that application of different rates of compost and vermicompost and foliar application of vermicompost tea treatments alone or together gave significantly positive effects on all growth and yield parameters under investigation as compared with control treatment. Data also found that increasing chlorophyll a and b, total carotenoids (content of leaves), N, P and K concentrations and uptake in roots, stem and leaves as compared with control treatment. The use of vermicompost as a fertilizer was more expedient, as it contains more nutrients as compared with horse compost treatment and control treatment . | ||
